3. 3. At high risk of metastasis defined by at least one of the following: • Monosomy 3 • Class 2 GEP • Stage 3 by AJCC (Appendix 1 [Section 15.1]) , Tumor with largest basal diameter > 12 mm NOTE: Monosomy 3 as determined by karyotyping, chromogenic or fluorescence in situ hybridization (CISH or FISH), Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification or array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH). Other methodologies may be acceptable after discussion with the IDEAYA Medical Monitor. Class 2 GEP as determined by Castle Decision Dx-UM® when this testing has been performed as part of local standard of care practice. Molecular testing is preferred to determine high risk for metastasis status; however, AJCC stage 3 is considered qualifying if molecular testing is not completed per local standard of care practice.

Cessation of birth control after this point should be discussed with the participant's physician. NOTE: Systemically acting hormonal contraceptives should always be combined with a barrier method (preferably male condom). • Male participants: Are surgically sterile or must agree to use double-barrier contraception methods from the time of informed consent, throughout the treatment period, and for 90 days following administration of the last dose of study drug/IMP.
